The Catholic religone
The Greek Catholic Church is part of the universal Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and the Holy See.
Under the national Constitution, the Greek Catholic community is a religious minority (but not ethnic). Greek Catholics are added to an even greater number of foreign Catholics who settled in Greece for several land reasons, thus contributing to create a Catholic community of about 200,000.
Most of them (40%) is concentrated in the megalopolis of Athens. A large number can be found in the Cycladic islands, especially Syros (8000) and Tinos (3,000), but also in Thessaloniki, Volos, Kavala, Corfu, Patras, Giannitsa and other cities of mainland Greece.
Inomma in a few words expressed the orthodoxy intimidation towards religions other than Orthodox.
